Launched in 1991, the PDQ 36 remains a benchmark for the "performance cruiser" catamaran, embodying the founding philosophy of PDQ Yachts: quality engineering without the aesthetic baggage of traditional multihulls. Designed by Alan Slater and built in Whitby, Ontario, the 36 was a natural evolution of the company’s original 34-foot prototype, stretched to accommodate integrated sugar-scoop transoms. With its signature "three-story" profile—a result of tiered coachroofs designed to maximize interior volume without sacrificing aerodynamics—the PDQ 36 carved out a unique niche in North America as an owner-operated alternative to the bloated charter cats of the era. Approximately 100 hulls were produced through 2003, and the model's success eventually paved the way for the Antares 44, which continues the lineage today.
